pg_control文件的作用

　　记录了pg服务器内部的信息，如最新检查点时间、服务器状态、WAL文件位置，总之和数据库可能损坏相关的信息这里都有维护，还包括LC_CTYPE/LC_COLLATE等信息，和oracle控制文件差不多的。如果该文件被删除，实例将无法启动。运行时，会在共享内存中维护一份pg_control的镜像。

查看pg_controldata文件的内容

　　有两种方式，一种是通过SQL查询，如下：

select * from pg_catalog.pg_control_checkpoint();
select * from pg_catalog.pg_control_system();
select * from pg_catalog.pg_control_init();
select * from pg_catalog.pg_control_recovery(); 

　　还有一种是通过命令行。如下：

[postgres@hs-10-20-30-194 global]$ pg_controldata ../../data
